Sorry, but we got another update this morning. Her husband was pleasantly surprised when he went into the ICU this morning. She is sitting up in a chair, is able to talk about finances and sign forms and engage in conversations with vistors. And she was able to lift her left hand up to touch his face. (happy tears!)
She said her goal is to be walking at the NAMM show (a music conference we always attend with them) in January. This brought on the tears for me big time. I was so bummed that they would not be able to attend this year. She had already reserved a suite for us to share and everything. Now I am so excited and just so happy!

There is still a long road ahead, but she seems to be okay in the cognitive aspect of things. Her long term memory is great, however, her short term memory is a little fuzzy. When she is able to engage 3 hours of rehab they will move her to a more intensive rehab facility. She still tires easily, as you would expect.

Thank you so much to anyone and everyone. Even if all you did was read this and just give out a thought.

This is excellent news. I hope that everything will continue to go well for her.

Thanks Tracey.
Well in the update today there was sad news. She is still going great, but we just learned that her mother passed away the same day she had her surgery. They waited to tell her until she was stable enough to take the news. Her husband said she took it well and will use the anger she feels about that toward her own recovery. Her mother was not a good therapy/rehab patient and didn't do what she should. Meredith will not do that in her own recovery.
She has a new goal. They have tickets to a concert of some kind on Dec. 9th. She is determined to go to that event.

Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

I have a prayer request, please!! I had a job interview today for a position as an RVT (registered veterinary techician). It's at a brand spanking new hospital and its a really great company and a great location. I'm really hoping I get the job, all I want to do is work with animals and improve my skills to help them! So prayers would be soo very appreciated! Thanks guys! I'm supposed to hear back from the interviewer next Friday.... eeek!

PT prayers are working so far! Wow! Wasn't expecting a call til next Friday, but just got a call from another manager of a different location letting me know that he would like to do a second interview with the hospital manager that I will (HOPEFULLY!) be working with! She wants to ask me more medical based questions (super nervous... could use some prayers here!) and have me do some observing to see if I like it there. Thank you thank you thank you for the prayers! Ahhh I'm nervous yet very excited, I hope I do well and win them over!

Woo-hoo - lookin' good! I'll ramp up those prayers of course, and remind the pups to keep their paws crossed too.
